PCAF works with strategic partners within the ecosystem of sustainable finance on a global and regional level. The main aim of the strategic partner program is to support PCAF's mission of standardizing and harmonizing the measurement and disclosure of emissions associated with financial activities. We therefore work with partners on aligning GHG accounting methodologies and disclosure requirements for financial institutions under various regulatory and voluntary frameworks.
We collaborate on capacity building and the development of technical guidance documents to enable measurement and disclosure of emissions linked to financial activities. PCAF and strategic partners also work together on thought leadership to support the development of new methods for the measurement of GHG emissions in the financial sector.
PCAF and CDP collaborate closely to enable transparent disclosures allowing stakeholders to better understand the climate impact of financial institutions’ portfolios. CDP’s disclosure framework integrates The Global GHG Accounting and Reporting Standard for the Financial Industry into its Climate Change Questionnaire for Financial services, which asks for disclosure of Scope 3 portfolio emissions.
PCAF is partnering with CRREM and GRESB in 2021 to provide investors and banks with the guidance they need to measure and report on their financed emissions from real estate.

PCAF is collaborating with IIGCC, an investor-led membership organisation. They bring the investment community together to navigate the risks and opportunities of the transition and support progress towards a net zero and climate resilient future. They work with their members to create guidance, tools, frameworks and resources that can help them, in their individual contexts, to manage climate-related financial risk within their individual portfolios. Their work also supports investors to make the most of opportunities presented by the transition towards a decarbonised global economy and the realities of a changing climate. They have 400+ members across 20+ countries.
PCAF and SBTi collaborate to enable financial institutions to align their lending and investment portfolios with the Paris Agreement’s mitigation goals. Financial institutions that decide to set science-based targets using the sector decarbonization approach (SDA) can use PCAF to measure their financed emissions for baselining and tracking of progress against targets.
